Picture dice (as opposed to number dice) have been suggested on BGG for broad market brit. My comment: Obviously, the picture-dice have their proponents--I am...
I've actually designed some picture dice for my Advanced Kingmaker rules. These show a knight, a lady and a skull to represent the various results of rolling...
... Most situations can be handled with having four blank sides and two different symbols on the remaining sides: In normal terrain, you kill with either...
(Copy of a reply on BGG:) I played the game for the first time today. I did abandon dice addition, using essentially the "picture" method and standard Brit ...
As I write the rules for this game, it occurs to me that the real "Broad Market" Brit would be... a game using cards. Not a card game, not the sort of thing...
I became curious about whether Britannia has really sold out, or if there's just a lot of it "in the channel". So I checked Funagain, Thoughthammer, and...
No wonder I haven't had any notifications from the FFG Britannia forum in a long time. Looks like all the old messages and users have been thrown out....
Miraculously, I have completed a set of rules for the broad market/gateway Brit. I have to play it one more time, then I'll post it for others to try. I'm...
Regarding simplified combat, one idea I had recently was to change the effect of hilands on combat: Instead of being harder to hit, allow armies defending...
... With the current stacking rules, retreat from difficult terrain is often not possible (in Scotland, at least). And I don't quite agree that the advantage...
By broad market, I think you mean "mass market" By mass market, you mean WalMart. This probably means having the game produced by Hasbro. It also means...
... No, specifically broad market is not mass market, as defined by the people I talked to. Anyway, Hasbro has their own designers and is very much into "safe"...
I think I've "solved" the picture dice, getting something that varies from Brit only in cavalry--which is not necessarily a bad thing. I am doing the two hits...
Well, the miracle seems to have carried over, and I've written full rules for "Frankia" (843-1214 scenario). I may have to play one more time before posting...
... Page 18: Do eligible nation have to have double amount of areas than any nation in England T16 to claim kingship or just other candidates? Or does the ...
I have posted the playtest "Gateway Brit" materials in the files section. I have played only three times, trying to tweak balance. The last game I combined...
Things I like: - What you've done with the combat system - Agricultural increase - Disorder and disunity limits - The scoring centers Things I dislike: -...
... I use this in several games, as a simpler alternative to "Settled Nations/Rule X" ... Always do things this way now, if the board is simple enough and ...
Turn 4 the 3 saxons in the atlantic move to the frisian is this allowed? It's been queried - looks like it maybe that armies can only move to another sea area...
Probably 3 Saxons in the English Channel (rather than the Atlantic). No, they may not finish the turn in the Frisian Sea, unless they then go ashore. And if...
As I've said before, I don't think three player versions of Britannia-like games work very well. They're subject to the "petty diplomacy problem" in a way the...
Just found this at Decision Games, http://www.decisiongames.com/html/china-middle_kingdom.html, and thought some of you would find it interesting: China: The...
So there is finally a release date, June 2008. I wish they'd said "Lew Pulsipher's Britannia", since it didn't even originate with Avalon Hill... grumble....
Some avid gamers who aren't wargamers played the Gateway Britannia last night at the NC State gamers club. They liked the picture dice. I didn't time it, but...
Looking at the map, there aren't many more spaces than Britannia; and there's the old-style Population Track from 0 to 2 1/2. Estimated price will be $60,...
... Most people tie games to publishers, not designers -- and it is only recently that publishers have used the designer's names prominently for marketing...
How about a gateway game that was just Ireland? Matthew On Apr 4, 2008, at 7:38 AM, Lewis Pulsipher wrote: the system may be viable for some other period of...
